Rolex Submariner Watches

Rolex Submariner Watches

Watches are often considered the only acceptable jewelry for men. So what kind do you wear? Sporty? Classic? Big and rugged? Sleek and stylish? Whatever the case, make sure it's got a mechanical movement inside and the word "battery" is not mentioned anywhere in the manual.

To guide your horological activities, we're producing a Watch of the Week feature, put together by Frank from the Monochrome.nl watch blog.

The watch we're looking at this week immediately demonstrates the different meanings of "classic." Who doesn't know the Rolex Submariner? It's probably the most copied watch on the planet and still Rolex manages to sell 'em like hot cakes even though the design has changed minimally over the past 47 years. Meet the first one: the Rolex Submariner Date, reference 1680, introduced in 1966.
